From 4666faab095230ec8aa62da6c33391287f281154 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Herbert Xu Date: Sat, 18 Jun 2005 22:43:22 -0700 Subject: [IPSEC] Kill spurious hard expire messages This patch ensures that the hard state/policy expire notifications are only sent when the state/policy is successfully removed from their respective tables. As it is, it's possible for a state/policy to both expire through reaching a hard limit, as well as being deleted by the user. Note that this behaviour isn't actually forbidden by RFC 2367. However, it is a quality of implementation issue. As an added bonus, the restructuring in this patch will help eventually in moving the expire notifications from softirq context into process context, thus improving their reliability. One important side-effect from this change is that SAs reaching their hard byte/packet limits are now deleted immediately, just like SAs that have reached their hard time limits. Previously they were announced immediately but only deleted after 30 seconds. This is bad because it prevents the system from issuing an ACQUIRE command until the existing state was deleted by the user or expires after the time is up. In the scenario where the expire notification was lost this introduces a 30 second delay into the system for no good reason.
